Don't take it personally. When Quan was young his parents would roll up issues of various DC comics, similar to how some might roll up a newspaper, and they'd beat him relentlessly with those comics.
You must not blame him for his feelings on this.
The problem with a lot of the action sequences in Transformers films is they are almost too long. Some of them are nearly an hour, which becomes monotonous after a while. And, a lot of the time, it just looks like watching flailing robot limbs through dust and rubble. The only Autobot who generally gets any memorable scenes is Optimus (and, occasionally, Bumblebee).

Yes. Too much/many bad ass moments make them lose their bad assness.
Good story telling is also needed to make the action enjoyable when it comes.

This basically does sum it up. When I watch the Transformers movies, I feel like they build the story around the action sequences, and then fill in the gaps afterwards. Whereas it's more the opposite way around with the MCU films. They figure out what the story is, where they want these characters to go, how they want them to get there, and then build the action around that whole idea.
In fact, I would encourage people who haven't listened to the CA:CW Director's Commentary to do so if they can. The Russos have a very interesting bit where they talk about the 3-way foot chase, between Cap, WS and BP. And it is made clear that a lot of thought went into how they wanted to portray the thought processes of these characters, and then wrote the action sequences to showcase how these characters would act in those situations. From tiny details to larger elements. Like they mention how the bits of newspaper were specifically stuck over the windows, so no one can see in. Or how WS kept the go-bag in the floorboards, knowing he would have to use it some time. And how he had already plotted his route, which is why he knew to toss the bag out of the specific window, and then make his way to a specific floor where he could make the jump to it. Or making his way to the tunnel, so that the helicopters can't pursue him etc.

Lol your stupidity knows no bounds. Off topic? Let me guess: what I said is off topic, but you whining about the quality of DC's movies is on topic because logic.
We get it: someone dared insult the MCU and you came running in to defend it and insult DC. It's okay man, consistency and logic are for lesser men.

The combined marvel cinematic powerhouse sits atop the throne. DC is jelly.

Watching the first Transformers and it occurred to me that the exact same style of almost slapstick humour mixed with great over the top action set pieces is what the MCUs bread and butter is. Does anyone else see the almost carbon copy of structure here? Which begs the question of why are the MCU films so celebrated and the Bay films so despised critically? Whats that one minor difference that separates these two franchises that couldn't be any differently received critically.
Go home, you're drunk af.
